6-9: 6 SEE ANSWER

Answer: (example) When bowing there is continuous energy being applied to the string. This causes the string to detach and then snap back into place, making a "sawtooth" driving force shape. This makes it that all harmonics will be heard in consecutive order (n= 1, 2, 3...) at a rate of 1/n. On the other hand, when a string is plucked the intensity of the frequencies will decrease rapidly at a rate of 1/(n^2). This makes it that some harmonics are not produced because the harmonics having nodes at the pluck-point are incapable of being produced.
